Pairing: Soup and beer

French Onion & Red IPA Sweet, soft onion suspended in a warm, toasty broth finds its perfect match in an IPA with an amped-up malt bill. Seek a brew with some onionlike hop flavors to draw out the onion in the soup; in any version you try, the style's pronounced, bready malts easily temper the saltiness, like a piece of toast on the side.
